Professional accreditation
The Graduate Certificate of Engineering Technology is not accredited by any professional bodies, but is accredited by the 精东传媒app of Southern Queensland.
Program aims
To enable students to complete a postgraduate program that will lead to an advanced level of knowledge in a specialised area of engineering.
Program objectives
Students who successfully complete the Graduate Certificate of Engineering Technology should be able to apply a body of knowledge of a specialised area of engineering at an advanced level.
Admission requirements
To be eligible for admission, applicants must satisfy the following requirements:
-
Completion of an Australian university three year Bachelor degree in engineering, science or technology or equivalent.
-
English Language Proficiency requirements for Category 3.
All students are required to satisfy the applicable .
If students do not meet the English language requirements they may apply to study a 精东传媒app-approved . On successful completion of the English language program, students may be admitted to an award program.
Program fees
Commonwealth supported place
A Commonwealth supported place is where the Australian Government makes a contribution towards the cost of a students' higher education and students pay a , which varies depending on the courses undertaken. Students are able to calculate the fees for a particular course via the .
Commonwealth Supported students may be eligible to defer their fees through a Government loan called .
Domestic full fee paying place
Domestic full fee paying places are funded entirely through the full fees paid by the student. Full fees vary depending on the courses that are taken. Students are able to calculate the fees for a particular course via the
Domestic full fee paying students may be eligible to defer their fees through a Government loan called provided they meet the residency and citizenship requirements.
Australian citizens, Permanent Humanitarian Visa holders, Permanent Resident visa holders and New Zealand citizens who will be resident outside Australia for the duration of their program pay full tuition fees and are not eligible for .
International full fee paying place
International students pay full fees. Full fees vary depending on the courses that are taken and whether they are studied on-campus, external or online. Students are able to calculate the fees for a particular course via the .

IT requirements
Access to an up-to-date computer is necessary. On-campus students can access appropriately equipped laboratories, but should consider acquisition of their own computer. Students should be able to access a computer with the following . All students should have access to email and the Internet via a computer running the latest versions of Internet web browsers such as Internet Explorer or Firefox. The 精东传媒app has a wireless network for on-campus students' computers. In order to take advantage of this facility and further enhance their on-campus learning environment, students should consider purchasing a notebook/laptop computer with wireless connectivity. Specialist software is required for some courses.
Enrolment
Candidates for admission to this program should note that some of the courses specify enrolment requirements. This may mean that successful applicants will be enrolling in courses for which they do not have sufficient pre-requisite knowledge. Applicants should refer to the to determine the enrolment requirements for the courses they intend enrolling in. Graduate students will be expected to rectify any deficiencies in their pre-requisite knowledge by private study, guided if necessary by the examiners of the relevant courses. Alternatively, they should enrol in the pre-requisite course(s). These courses will not contribute to the requirements for program completion.
